What sets him apart from most modern R&B artists in these ballads is that he talks more about pleasing women in an relationship sense, than women pleasing him in a sexual sense. Songz saves the booze-guzzling, female rear end obsessed side of him for the more party-oriented tracks on Chapter V to work in his favor commercially, while his ballads are of a completely opposite nature. In his past work Songz has been guilty of displaying that same persona of crude self-promotion that artists like Chris Brown apply like make-up, but unlike Brown, Songz never let it be a permanent staple in his music or dominate him thematically, and he continues to make good use of this restraint on his obviously titled fifth album Chapter V. With the mainstream R&B scene receiving a new level of standard that it desperately needed, artists such as Trey Songz face some stiff competition. The music behind their voices is not an after-thought, leading to interesting experiments in beats and structures, and they convey authentic emotions such as vulnerability and intimacy through their voice and lyrics combined. It’s fortunate that in recent years artists that are actually inspired have thrown their hats into the ring and have gained some well-deserved recognition and acceptance into the mainstream.Īrtists such as these, namely The Weeknd and Frank Ocean, are what modern R&B should sound like, and what the genre as a whole has been in dire need of.

They make music that is heavy on sexual themes but isn’t sexy in the least bit, turning entire albums into bone-headed, egotistical boasting sprees. Modern R&B is primarily plagued with the likes of Chris Brown, singers who judging by their lyrical content, enjoy stroking their dicks just as much as stroking their egos. Review Summary: He’s made about as little progression in his music as one would expect from an artist in the mainstream R&B scene, but Songz’ sense of compassion in his personality is what puts him above the dozens of other shameless singers in the field.
